Mexican Chimichurri Sauce For Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• Pre-made pizza dough
• 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce
• 3/4 cup churrasco
• 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Process

1. The oven needs to be preheated to 450 degrees. It's essential to use a pizza stone if you have one.
2. Get ready for your pizza dough from scratch or at the shop. Sprinkle flour on your work area and the dough as needed to keep it from sticking as you roll it into a circle that will fit your pizza stone or baking pan.
3. Cornmeal should coat the baking dish or pizza peel (if a stone is used). Gently transfer the pizza dough to the baking peel or tray. Spread the chimichurri sauce evenly with the back of a big spoon after adding it. Flourishes with mozzarella.
4. Thinly slice the churrasco so that you may easily eat it. Typically, you may get three pizza slices out of each thin slice of the original churrasco. Please note that these are just rough estimates that can be adjusted to suit your needs.
5. Cook the pizza for 10 to 12 minutes or until the mozzarella is golden in the oven. Chilled churrasco from leftovers can be sprinkled haphazardly over a pizza approximately five minutes into cooking. After the pizza has been baked, you can add the churrasco if it is still warm from cooking.
6. Cut it up and eat it while it's still hot. Do you prefer your pizzas cut into squares or triangles?
